Another rainy day
What summer is this! I'm finding it hard to keep my spirits up when every day it feels more and more like November. Ugghhh. My spirits are low, and my kids are cranky. I've decided that the only strategy possible is to keep busy and to forge ahead with plans despite nature's lack … [Read more...]

What I Miss…
Do you ever miss the previous incarnation of yourself? The one pre-motherhood. I'm a stay-at-home-mom. I feel very fortunate to do so, but I had a life before my boys. I had a career that I more than willingly not just put aside, I ended. As in closed the book on that … [Read more...]
